Linking Ethics, Social Responsibility and Sustainability: Challenges for Science and Practice Continuing and expanding the goals of the previous four editions, the 5th Symposium on Ethics and Social Responsibility Research-2019 aims to be a dynamic forum for scholars to share and discuss advances in scientific understanding of the current challenges of ethics, sustainability and social responsibility in organizational and societal settings. Nowadays, people expect organizations to be accountable for the ethicality of their internal and external processes, including the relationships with stakeholders, and they ask for a higher level of transparency in decision processes affecting collective life. The same is true of the environmental and social sustainability problems, which are increasingly important in public debate and in the concerns of individuals and communities. Therefore, this Symposium aims at not only fostering dialogue between scientists on theoretical models and empirical results but also debating policies, strategies, and practices. Issues such as the relationship between organizational ethics and the strategies for sustainability will be discussed at specific forums, involving practitioners and decision makers. The participation of several researchers from national and international institutions is an important step in the achievement of these aims. We are pleased to welcome colleagues from Portugal, Spain, UK, France, Finland, Poland, Slovak, Brazil, Mexico, Taiwan, and USA. We believe that this diversity mirrors the interest that sustainability, ethical and social responsibility issues have across the globe. Several papers on these domains will be addressed during these two days. We are certain that there will be many opportunities for productive debate and thoughtful discussion! Each received proposal was blind reviewed to guarantee the relevance and quality of the works included in the program. We would like to thank to all reviewers for their time and dedication. We are also grateful to the members of the Best Paper Award for their time and dedication to the revision of the full papers submitted to this Award.
